The average man, especially rs Christmas IS
approaching finds it hard to realize why the
President should he so harassed by the increasing
burden of an OVERLOOKING surplus in tie Treasury
As he turns the matter over in his own mlhd lie
cannot understand why a surplus should he re-
caroled as an unmixed evil. In the administration
of his household affairs during the holiday week
when he is Lord High Confcctioncr TO the prin-
cosses Of his own nursery and Chancellor OF the
Exchequer TO all poor relations, he is quite sure
that a large, even Overlooking surplus would
not make him unhappy

One Of Tho most outrageous dcfianccs ~ decency
known in this city for many n day is the appoint
mcnt by Civil Justice Stccklcr of the notorious
triclstcr and trader in votes Barney Ronrke,
as clerk of his court. Rou,xc has been proved

candidates in his district. He sold ont Henry C.
Bottv, the Republican candidate for Civil Justice
i'm Stcckcrs district at the recent election. Now
he gets his reward. Ills trcachery elected Stock
Ter and now Stcctlcr appoints him clerk OF his
court Rourllc is groggcry keeper with every
possible disqualification for court clcrkship
What do respectable people think of Civil
Justice capable of such performance as this?
DR.. Hammond seems to have a real grievance.
Ills name has been used without his consent as
rcc0mm, nding noStrums and patent medicines,
and the only way he can get redress is by the
cigeuitous method of an action for criminal
libel. 1t would seem that the laws ought TO
cover such cases directly, forbiddng the use
of any mans name for any purpose which he
docs not approve. If man has right to
anything he surely has the absolute right and
title To his name.
